General Data
Standards
Alternators are designed and produced within an ISO 9001 environment. The entire series is manufactured according to, and
complies with, the most common specifications such as CEI 2-3, IEC 34-1, EN 60034-1, VDE 0530, BS 4999-5000, NF 51.111,
CAN/CSA-C22.2 No14-95-No100-95, NEMA MG 1-2011, ISO 8528-3. Other standards such as UL1446, UL 1004/4 and /B are
available on request.

Winding Protection
There are various degrees of protection for the windings following the standard impregnation process, as can be seen here.
The TOTAL+ butadienic black flexible coating is recommended for arduous applications.
World-class Alternators | 3
General Data
Grey treatment (marinization) on the left, TOTAL+ treatment shown on the right. The EG43 grey varnish, is an high
temperature insulating enamel that forms a tough and flexible film, with excellent moisture and chemical protection. It is
water and oil proof, and also protects windings from abrasion. It is applied spraying an over coating layer over the
impregnated winding, or dipping the stator in a varnish barrel for superior treatments
The TOTAL+ is a protection system that makes Mecc Alte special. It is the ultimate winding treatment that offers truly
superior performances when the environment is really harsh, or the application very demanding. It is a rubbery protection
treatment, used to replace epoxies and silicones winding encapsulation. The TOTAL+ flexible black compound cures to a
tough, resilient, glossy black thick coating that seals the copper against moisture and chemical attacks. Due to its
encapsulation capability and flexibility, is also extremely resistant to the particle abrasion as it adsorbs the impacts.
Moreover, the high flexibility leads to a long-trouble less life protection, as the compound follows elastically the thermal
expansion cycles of the windings from the cold to the hot condition and vice versa without forming any cracks.
Construction
The robust mechanical structure withstands up to 5G in any direction and 9G vertically and its design permits easy access to
the connections and components during routine maintenance check-ups. The mechanical design has used the most advanced
FEM techniques. The materials used are: FEP12 steel for the frame, C45 steel for the shaft and cast iron or aluminum
pressure die cast for the end-brackets: fans are aluminum die casted either nylon fiber glass loaded, UL compliant materials.
Rotors are dynamically balanced according grade 2.5 of ISO 1940-1.

For a given motor start duty a smaller machine may be selected – also enhanced by low sub-transient reactance values for
non-linear loads. The whole range from 6.5 to 3400kVA is capable of >300% sustained short circuit current for up to 20
seconds.

General Data
Optional PMG3
PMG3 can be retro fit or factory fit on ECO 40, 43 and 46 series. This smart MeccAlte
design allows an easy fix kit, through a tapered cone coupling and a simple replacement
of the rear air louvre. PMG3 is also available on ECO 38, when ordered from the factory.
The complete AVR range is fully compatible with both MAUX and PMG3 systems, this
minimises spare part management and flexibility of stock as one AVR suits all
applications. The PMG3 is delivering the same amount of kVA available with the MAUX.
Accessories
Additional optionals can be fit on our alternator series, such as PTC thermistors or PT100 both on windings and bearings,
space heaters, high and low profile of terminal boxes (on most series), air filter clogging sensors, rotating diode bridge failure
sensor (RBD), power factor controller for parallel operation (PFR/2), parallel devices (standard from ECO 40), air filters, IP43
and IP45 protections, marine IP23 + protection for SOLAS requirements and many others.

All the curves are shown for series or parallel star connection at 400V 50 Hz or 480V 60 Hz. If the unit is reconnected from
series to parallel star, the additional coefficient is 2X. From series star to series delta, it is 1.72X. From series star to parallel
delta, it is 3.44X.

Transients voltage
In order to scale transient curves as a function of a power factor or voltage if not indicated, please proceed as follows:
Power Factor coefficient corrector (PFCC), to be used on power factor 0.6 curves:
PFCC=sin(ARCcos (PFnew))/0.8
Example. The PFCC at power factor 0.3 is 1.192 [ PFCC= sin(ARCcos (0.3))/0.8 ]. This means that the voltage fall at a given power at pf 0.3 is equivalent to the
one that can be read on the pf 0.6 curve if the load is considered 1.192 times bigger (19% higher value. ).
In this example, a 100 kVA load insertion at pf 0.3 is equivalent in voltage fall to a 119kVA load insertion at pf 0.6.
